Gender difference exists in sagittal curvature of the distal femoral condyle morphology for osteoarthritic population

ConclusionsIt has been concluded that the sagittal curvature of the femoral condyles in females is significantly different to their male counterparts. This study provides a reliable evaluation of the sagittal curvature of the femoral condyle in the Korean population. These gender-related differences in the sagittal curvature of the femoral condyle may require further investigation to determine surgical implications such as in TKA, and the existence of gender-related dimorphism in specific knee injuries and pathologies, such as ligament injuries and tibiofemoral problems.Level of evidenceIII.
